The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
‐‐ Plutarch
The very strength of a nation eventually proves to be its weakness.
‐‐ Paul Harris
The very success of the modern American family - where kids get punctually to SAT-tutoring classes, the mortgage gets paid, the second-story remodel stays on budget - surely depends on spouses' not being in love.
‐‐ Sandra Tsing Loh
The very things that I would love about Barack and that you would love about Barack is that he is one of us. He's a normal guy. He's not a political animal.
‐‐ Enrico Letta
The very use of the word savage, as it is applied in its general sense, I am inclined to believe is an abuse of the word, and the people to whom it is applied.
‐‐ George Catlin
The very, very beginning is that my mother and father were aviators.
‐‐ James Rosenquist
The very winds whispered in soothing accents, and maternal Nature bade me weep no more.
‐‐ Mary Shelley
The very women who object to the morals of a notoriously beautiful actress, grow big with pride when an admirer suggests their marked resemblance to this stage beauty in physique.
‐‐ Minna Antrim
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
‐‐ John F. Kennedy
The Veteran's History Project, a nationwide volunteer effort to collect oral histories from America's war veterans, provides an avenue to do just that. Now in its fifth year, the Project has collected more than 40,000 individual stories.
‐‐ Spencer Bachus
The Veterans Administration is a scandal. It's corrupt, and what's going on is a disgrace. And, believe me, if I win, if I become president, that will end. The veterans will be treated properly.
‐‐ Donald Trump
The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.
‐‐ Judd Gregg
The vibe in our locker room is real energetic and fun and real personable, I think from Day 1. That gets you through a lot of tough times, where in hard times, it might be common nature for guys to do their own thing and split up and become silent.
‐‐ Stephen Curry
The vicar of Christ is an individual, not an electorate.
‐‐ Conrad Black
The Vice-Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does.
‐‐ Bill Vaughan
The vice president had a bargaining asset, however, that no ordinary person has: He was next in line to the presidency. I saw no chance that he would resign first, then take his chances on trial, conviction, and jail.
‐‐ Elliot Richardson
The vice-president of an advertising agency is a bit of executive fungus that forms on a desk that has been exposed to conference.
‐‐ Fred Allen
The vice presidential candidate does not usually make much difference at the polls. But that may be changing as voters become more aware that the understudy must be ready to take over if needed.
‐‐ Madeleine M. Kunin
The vice presidential candidate tends to be a bit of an afterthought.
‐‐ Mary Cheney
The Vichy government was under occupation and carried out the orders of the German occupier.
‐‐ Jean-Marie Le Pen
The vicious circle has been shattered. Canadians now enjoy the benefits of the virtuous circle.
‐‐ Paul Martin
The victim mentality may be the last uncomplicated thing about life in America.
‐‐ Anna Quindlen
The victor belongs to the spoils.
‐‐ F. Scott Fitzgerald
The victor will be the one who gets the most voters out.
‐‐ Charles B. Rangel
The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans.
‐‐ Dylan McDermott
'The Victorian Internet' is a must read for anyone interested in the history of technology and in the cycles of hype, boom, and bust that seem to only quicken with each new wave of innovation. Highly recommended.
‐‐ John Battelle
The Victorian language of flowers began with the publication of 'Le Language des Fleurs,' written by Charlotte de Latour and printed in Paris in 1819. To create the book - which was a list of flowers and their meanings - de Latour gathered references to flower symbolism throughout poetry, ancient mythology, and even medicine.

The victors in great wars have always been spiritually defeated by the conquered.
‐‐ George William Russell
The victory is always sweeter... winning things with friends.
‐‐ Brian O'Driscoll
The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.
‐‐ Yasser Arafat
The victory of Hamas is not only based on the corruption of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas has a vision and a program, and this is the reason why the Palestinian people chose Hamas. However, there is no doubt that the corruption helped Hamas's victory.
‐‐ Ismail Haniyeh
The victory will be only entirely and finally achieved when the whole world is free of Jews.
‐‐ Julius Streicher
The video aside, 'P.D.A' is a song about when you really love somebody, you just can't resist wanting to show that out in public sometimes.
‐‐ John Legend
The video for 'Whatever' is kind of a documentary in a way. It's showing that love can last. Not just in your early 20s or your late 30s, but in your 50s, 60s and 70s. There's an awful myth out there that when you get married, love and lovemaking fade. It's not true.
‐‐ Jill Scott
The video forum for me has been a source of great consternation because once you start projecting a look to a song, it robs the listener of their ability to adopt that song and make the lyric their own.
‐‐ Sheryl Crow
The video game culture was an important thing to keep alive in the film because we're in a new era right now. The idea that kids can play video games like Grand Theft Auto or any video game is amazing. The video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe.
‐‐ Vin Diesel
The video game market is huge, and the ability to tell stories, and tell different kinds of stories in the gaming space is quickly evolving and changing for the better.
‐‐ Jim Lee
The video game story-development process is incredibly broken.
‐‐ Austin Grossman
The video maker doesn't easily face a blank page. Because the videomaker can run it either any way, this way or the other way and erase it if they don't like it and so on.
‐‐ Stan Brakhage
The Viennese wash everything. Where else in the world does the government hire public servants to wash public telephone booths and the glass over traffic lights? Every time I see someone doing these things, I smile like a child.
‐‐ Jonathan Carroll
The Vietnam War and the Iraq war, in different ways, both made me feel like I could not not address them. I'm very doubtful about the usefulness of poetry to do that.
‐‐ Robert Hass
The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn't make it.
‐‐ Henry A. Kissinger
The Vietnam War soured President Johnson's legacy. We still have to recognize his domestic legacy.
‐‐ Gene Green
The Vietnam War totally turned my life around. Some people's lives were eliminated or destroyed by the experience. I was one of the fortunate few who came out better off.
‐‐ Craig Venter
The Vietnam War was causing people to get drafted; I had received a deferment to finish my undergraduate education, and in order to continue to get a deferment, you had to go to graduate school.
‐‐ Robert Shapiro
The Vietnam War was happening, but Lubbock was... They put a pinch on it.
‐‐ Bob Livingston
The Vietnamese and the Republicans are, with an intensity, trying to take this seat from which we have done so much for our community - to take this seat and give it to this Van Tran, who is very anti-immigrant and very anti-Hispanic.
‐‐ Loretta Sanchez
The Vietnamese have a secret weapon. It's their willingness to die beyond our willingness to kill. In effect, they've been saying, You can kill us, but you'll have to kill a lot of us; you may have to kill all of us. And, thank heaven, we are not yet ready to do that.
‐‐ George Wald
The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace. But in the face of United States aggression they have risen up, united as one man.
‐‐ Ho Chi Minh
The Vietnamese see their history as an unending series of struggles of resistance to aggression, by the Chinese, the Mongols, the Japanese, the French, and now the Americans.
